Lexicographic Multi-Objective On-Policy Distillation
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) usually optimizes answer correctness, yet useful language-model behavior also requires high-quality reasoning and concise responses. Existing multi-reward post-training methods typically scalarize rewards or combine specialists without explicitly protecting a reward priority order. This is problematic when trade-offs are asymmetric: conciseness, for example, should not improve at the cost of correctness.
